We are coming to the end of the first half of the book of Acts. We have just finished Acts 12, which gives us a natural break in this book. So we’re going to stop for our summer break right here. We have seen how God’s Great Commission for His church...

As we come to Acts 12, we see that God has been doing a lot of amazing things in the early church.  We’ve watched how God’s people have been faithful in the middle of great triumph, as well as great tragedy and trial.  Because of their faithfulness...

We’re in a series in Acts we’re calling “Unfinished.” Last week we learned that Peter had taken some heat for taking the gospel to a new group of people—the Gentiles—who had not heard the gospel before. We read about the conversion of a single family...

We’ve been in a series in Acts we’ve titled “Unfinished.” If you aren’t very aware of the Bible, the book of Acts is the story of what takes place after Jesus’ death, burial and resurrection through the ministry of His disciples. We’ve been learning...

This morning we’ll look at the account of Peter preaching to a man who lives far from Jerusalem. He’s a Roman centurion—a military guard—to whom God has brought Peter to share the good news of Jesus Christ. In the process of telling this man about...

My family and I have been attending Village Bible Church for about a year and have loved being part of the community here. A few weeks ago, I was asked to preach, and I said, “Yes.” I assumed it was because Tim was going to be on vacation. Then he...

We’re coming to the end of our series, “In God We Trust.” In this series, we’ve been looking at how faithful God is and how we can rely on Him, not only regarding our eternal life, but also with our everyday lives—all of who we are. We can trust Him...

Over the last couple months, we’ve been looking at what it means to trust God. We’ve seen in Scripture that God is completely trustworthy and faithful, so we can depend on Him. While we might also put our hope in things of this world—government. jobs...

We’re continuing our series “In God We Trust,” as we learn what it means to trust God, not only with our eternal salvation, but also with all our lives—with our possessions, our families, our jobs—all the things we find ourselves being anxious about...

When I was around 27 years old, I became a senior pastor of a church. I say “senior pastor” because I was the only pastor and I just wanted everybody to call me senior pastor. It felt good. So when I took the pastorate position in a country church, I...

We’re in the middle of series called “In God We Trust,” in which we’re learning what it means to trust God with all our lives because He is completely trustworthy. To do this, we cannot lean on our own understanding, but must acknowledge Him in all...

We’re spending a couple months looking at what it means to trust God with all we are and all we have—our time, relationships, talents, treasure, and everything that is important to us. We’re learning that trusting God is hard, even in the smaller...

We’re hitting the pause button on our series in Acts and we’ll pick it up again on Easter Sunday. During this pause we’re doing an eight-week series called “In God We Trust.” Our church is now looking at what it means to be financially free from debt...

This morning we’re embarking on an eight-week look at how to manage our finances.  In our small groups we’re using a series called “Financial Peace University,” plus we’re dedicating time from the pulpit to speak on the subject of money.  But we want...

We are in a series on the book of Acts, seeing how the early church lived out the Great Commission in the days following Christ’s resurrection and ascension. We’ve traveled a long journey so far. In the earlier chapters we read about Peter, John, and...

Last week we were in Acts 9, where we saw a dramatic and transforming change that took place in the life of a man named Saul from Tarsus. He was a predator who sought to destroy the church and stop the gospel message from spreading. But on his journey...

Today we come to one of the most prominent, transforming and cataclysmic events in the book of Acts, and maybe in all of human history. Bible scholars say that this event, the conversion of Saul the Pharisee to Christianity, may be second only to the...
